The properties of semiconductors heterostructures of nanoscopic dimensions change from that of bulk material according to the rules of quantum mechanics. The planar quantum wells (QWs) are widely used in various diode and laser devices thanks to the relati ...
Inherent to the nanowire morphology is the exciting possibility of fabricating materials organized at the nanoscale in three dimensions. Composition and structure can be varied along and across the nanowire, as well as within coaxial shells. This opens up ...
For more than fifteen years, III-nitrides have become the materials of choice for the realization of optoelectronics devices operating in the visible-UV spectral range. Yet, while nitride-based technology has truly exploded, the structural quality of this ...
We report results of a study of polytypic GaAs nanowires using low-temperature photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. The nanowire ensemble shows a strong absorption at 1.517 eV, as a result of resonant generation of heavy-hole excitons in the zinc-ble ...
GaInAsN quantum dots (QDs) were grown in inverted pyramids on a patterned (111) B GaAs surface. Incorporation of N in the active structure is attested to by a significant (similar to 80 meV) redshift of the photoluminescence spectrum of the QDs. Influence ...
Semiconductor quantum dots are usually compared to artificial atoms, because their electronic structure consists of discrete energy levels as for natural atoms. These artificial systems are integrated in solid materials and can be localized with a spatial ...
Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) photovoltaics combine low-cost solution processability with quantum size-effect tunability to match absorption with the solar spectrum. Rapid recent advances in CQD photovoltaics have led to impressive 3.6% AM1.5 solar power con ...
Quantum wells (QWs), quantum wires (QWRs) and quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor heterostructures with nanoscopic dimensions. At this length scale, their properties are governed by quantum mechanics. The interest in these nanostructures is motivated by a ...
Over the past few decades, III-V nitrides have attracted much attention due to the possibility to realize high efficiency optoelectronic devices covering all the UV and visible part of the light spectrum. However, the device fabrication has gone much faste ...
This thesis presents an experimental study of the time-resolved optical response of three different nanoscale systems: CdSe and PbSe quantum dots, and silver triangular nanoplates. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the understanding of the effects ...
